DesignArena began days before its founders’ college graduation in 2025 and evolved from experiments to make AI-generated games more enjoyable into a broader human-evaluation platform. The product presents users with A-vs-B style comparisons across formats (websites, images and other visual media) so human preferences can be recorded and used by model developers. The platform has reached 5.3 million users and, per the report, is generating roughly $60 million in annual recurring revenue. Enterprise customers — including frontier AI labs — pay for access to the continuous human feedback that complements automated benchmarks. The company’s users are required to log in, enabling tracking of tastes over time and across regions, which the team says reveals stylistic differences by market. The article notes competitors and adjacent players in the human-evaluation space but highlights DesignArena’s early commercial traction and enterprise adoption.

Onyx Security is developing an agent-native security and governance platform that continuously discovers enterprise AI agents, inspects every step of their reasoning, and intervenes when necessary to block, require human approval, or redirect agent actions.

Executives can also track AI adoption and performance metrics through the same dashboard. The system is powered by proprietary supervisory agents and in-house AI models purpose-built to understand and manage other agents in real time. Co-founded by cybersecurity veteran Maxim Bar Kogan and former Nvidia AI researcher Gil Elbaz, the company already serves multiple Fortune 500 customers and employs more than 70 people across Israel, the United States, and Canada. Headquartered in New York and Tel Aviv, Onyx plans to use its new capital to expand product and engineering teams, build additional AI models, and scale go-to-market efforts. The business has raised $40 million to date but has not publicly disclosed revenue or user numbers.
